The Embedded GLIBC (EGLIBC) is a variant of the GNU C Library (GLIBC)
that is designed to work well on embedded systems. EGLIBC strives to be
source and binary compatible with GLIBC. EGLIBC's goals include reduced
footprint, configurable components, better support for cross-compilation
and cross-testing.

In contrast to what Ulrich Drepper makes out of GLIBC, in EGLIBC all
patches assigned to the FSF will be considered regardless of individual
or company affiliation and cooperation is encouraged, as well as
communication, civility, and respect among developers.
